Since the Chinese coils seem to have a problem, I think it comes down to just plain poor manufacturing. How many brand name batteries have destroyed electronic equipment, remotes, volt meters, flashlights that you own? And before their expiration date. I have had Duracell, Energizer, Ray-O-Vac, you name it, just leak all over. Where were they made? You guessed it, China.
I suspect these coils are just made with inferior insulation on the windings...
Is there some one of us who can answer my question above about other 6-cylinder engines?
